Chapter 215: Dealing with the Robbers

Gao Jin reported the robbers' positions, and Chen Mo and his two companions moved through the hotel as if it were empty.

Occasionally they ran into a few lone robbers, which they dealt with easily.

The three didn't rush ahead, but slowly cleared floor by floor.

Of course, they left the robbers in the lobby alone.

Chen Mo didn't want the police to come too early, so he left those people for the police to handle.

A few minutes later, Chen Mo and his group had cleared up to the sixth floor.

"Mo Ge, Ah Jie, Guodong, there's a gang of five robbers in the sixth-floor restaurant—be careful."

Gao Jin's prompt came through the phone.

Chen Mo now thought the walkie-talkie's leaky sound wasn't bad—you could hear it even when it was on your waist.

The three slowed their steps and slowly approached both sides of the restaurant door.

Chen Mo's ears twitched slightly as he listened to the footsteps inside.

Three on the left, two on the right.

Chen Mo gave Li Jie and Shen Guodong a hand signal; the two immediately understood his meaning and nodded.

Afterwards, the three charged into the restaurant at the same time.

"Bang bang bang"

Chen Mo fired a rapid three-shot burst, instantly killing the three robbers on the left.

At the same time, the micro-submachine gun's "tat-tat-tat" rang out behind Chen Mo.

Li Jie and Shen Guodong also took out the other two at the same time.

The five robbers, including the doctor's younger brother Tuzi, had no time to react and were killed outright.

While Li Jie and Shen Guodong were reloading, Chen Mo walked over to Tuzi, kicked his corpse, and confirmed he was dead.

Just then, the walkie-talkie on Tuzi's body emitted a sound.

"Tuzi, Tuzi, can you hear me? What's the situation over there?"

Chen Mo picked up the walkie-talkie and said teasingly, "Doctor, right? You don't need to worry—this guy called Tuzi is already dead."

"It'll be your turn soon—wait for me!"

"Who are you? What did you do to my brother?" the doctor snapped, hearing Chen Mo's voice, becoming somewhat flustered.

"I already said he's dead. Rest assured, one shot killed him—he passed peacefully."

Having said that, Chen Mo looked at Li Jie and handed him the walkie-talkie.

"Ah Jie, want to say hello to the doctor?"

Li Jie took the walkie-talkie and said coldly, "Doctor, two years ago you blew up my family; today I finally found you!"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Li Jie—do you remember me?"

After a moment of silence, the doctor exclaimed, "I remember now—it's you. Two years ago, not blowing you up was your good luck. But today you won't be so lucky!"

"You killed my brother—now you'll keep him company in death."

"Today, none of you will get out alive."

Chen Mo took the walkie-talkie from Li Jie's hand and laughed, "Who kills whom is still uncertain. We're coming up to find you right away—then we'll see who's really skilled."

Having said that, Chen Mo didn't give the doctor a chance to speak; he squeezed hard and crushed the walkie-talkie.

"Ah Jin, how's the exhibition hall?"

"The second display case has already been opened; there are still twelve robbers."

"All right, keep watching. When the third display case is opened, let me know. Ah Jie, Guodong, let's keep going."

"Sure!"

The three continued clearing upward.

"Mo Ge, there are two in the room ahead of you."

"Ah Jie, Guodong, there are three robbers around the corner ahead of you."

Under Gao Jin's remote command, the three always managed to spot the robbers a step ahead.

Splitting into two groups, they killed whatever they met—god or devil—and wiped out all the robbers the doctor had sent to pursue them, suffering no harm.

After ten-odd minutes, the three almost simultaneously reached the seventy-fifth floor.

"Mo Ge, the doctor has already taken three jewels, leaving eight robbers inside. However, the doctor is strapping explosives onto a few foreigners!"

"Besides, the police seem to be preparing to detonate the explosives—they should be coming in soon."

Chen Mo's eyes narrowed.

"Damn! The police are about to move in, the doctor is preparing to retreat—there's not much time left for Li Jie to get his revenge!"

"Ah Jie, Guodong, get ready to attack!"

According to Gao Jin, there are still eight robbers in the exhibition hall, plus the doctor's bombs.

Moreover, the exhibition hall entrance offers no cover; they can hardly find any shelter.

A head‑on clash might not be their match.

Especially since the doctor has tied the bombs to foreign hostages.

Chen Mo didn't need to think to know those few foreigners were surely the overseas directors.

If anything happened to them, Chen Mo and his crew would surely be implicated as well.

After all, they aren't police, so they could easily be mistaken for the robbers' accomplices.

But Chen Mo already had an idea.

Chen Mo took out two grenades he had previously snatched from the robbers and threw them straight into the exhibition hall entrance.

Of course, if you don't pull the pin, it won't explode.

But the robbers inside don't know that!

With the 'clang-clang' of two grenades hitting the floor, the robbers saw the grenades and panicked.

Watch out, there's a grenade!

The robbers cried out in alarm, and the exhibition hall erupted into chaos.

Both robbers and hostages desperately scrambled outward, trying to get as far away from the grenades as possible.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Mo and his two companions rushed into the exhibition hall.

"Bang bang bang" "click click click...."

Gunfire rang out; the seven robbers, in their panic, had no time to retaliate and were instantly cut down by Chen Mo and his two companions.

Only the doctor escaped.

He had been attaching explosives to the hostages, but upon seeing the grenade he didn't retreat—he dove behind a hostage, hoping to use them as a shield.

Thus he escaped.

The gunfire stopped; the doctor grabbed a box with one hand, used his arm to choke the hostage before him, held a pistol in the other, and slowly rose.

"Li Jie, I never thought you'd actually thwart my plans," the doctor said, while controlling the hostage and slowly moving toward the door.

"Doctor, you can't get away today!" Li Jie aimed his gun at the doctor.

"Who says I can't run? I've strapped explosives onto all these people—if you chase me, they'll be blown up."

"Catch me, or save the hostages—choose one. What's your decision?"

"Save me! I'm an official of the Great Eagle Empire—I can't die! You have to save me!"

"Save me! I'm an envoy of the Bear Nation—if you save me, I'll grant you anything you want."

The hostages under the doctor's control, along with the few foreigners who had explosives strapped to them, started pleading for help.

Li Jie suddenly found himself conflicted.

Although he loathed the doctor, wishing to tear him limb from limb.

But as a soldier, he couldn't bear to see so many innocent people die before his eyes.

Especially when he was capable of saving them.

After looking around, Chen Mo didn't see Cao Charlie and concluded that the doctor must have thrown him down.

Objective two achieved.

Just then, several loud booms sounded from outside.

Boom—boom—

"Mo Ge, the police blew up the explosives downstairs and have already stormed in."

Gao Jin's voice came through Chen Mo's phone.

Chen Mo frowned, no longer wasting time on Li Jie's hesitation, raised his hand and fired two shots at the doctor—bang, bang.
